Introducing Gretel!

The Carruth Center is happy to introduce our therapy dog, Gretel. When you come into the Center, she will be happy to visit with you, but please refrain from feeding her. When visiting with her, please let her smell you briefly, and then feel free to pet her as much or as little as you wish. Please be gentle.

If you need Gretel to not be in the common area, please let our front desk staff know. They will be happy to accommodate your wishes.

Gretel is on Twitter!

CCPPS Diversity Statement

WELLWVU’s Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services (CCPPS) is dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment for all members of the WVU community. We are grateful for the diversity of our Mountaineer family, which can span age, appearance, ethnicity and race, financial means, gender, language, military experience, nationality, physical and mental abilities, politics, religion and spirituality, region, and sexual orientation. We believe that acknowledging the cultural wealth of everyone helps us to recognize, at once, the uniqueness and the universality of the human experience. This recognition of our similarities and differences can make us mindful of how we define ourselves and treat other members of our Gold and Blue community. Join us as we encourage staff and others to engage in open and ongoing dialogue about the attitudes, values, and beliefs that shape us, individually and collectively, in this global age.
